Gray where transparent (PNGs) in EDIT MODE
I just opened a project in the new Booksmart (1.9.4.22805) and the transparent areas of PNGs are showing on-screen as light gray in EDIT MODE, but are ‘see-through’ when in PREVIEW MODE.
I can’t imagine why anyone would want to see the transparent areas of the image in Edit mode… transparency is just that… transparent.
My concern is whether this was an added ‘design feature’ or a bug – and whether or not Blurb can guarantee that transparencies in PNGs will render invisible during print.
Frankly, it’s rather annoying since all of the ‘work’ done on a project is in EDIT MODE…
P.S. I don’t feel like buying a book to find out.
Other than that, this version feels a little snappier on my aluminum iMac with 4GB of RAM… but that could just be my desire to believe that updated software is only released when it’s better. :)
